Awesome Mix Volume 1: Making a Cassette MP3 Player

January 20, 2015

After watching Guardians of the Galaxy the other day I came across this on the internet and decided to attempt to make my own cassette mp3 player. My version is fairly similar to the original but I made my own modifications to the design:

• I used 28-guage insulated copper wire instead of enamled wire
• I did not move the audio and usb ports. Instead I cut a small whole out on the front face to make room for the audio jack
• I replaced the original battery with one from a model RC Helicopter that can be replaced easily

I also furnished a case for the mp3 player out of a cassette tape holder so I could listen to music without risking damage to the player in bad weather conditions. To see more pictures of the player, visit the project page.
